LONDON JOURNALS. plorniv, Chronicle, Sept. 17 .1 E.IsT IN1)1.1 INTELLIGENcr. All the Letters from India concur in paying the warmest tributes of applause to the Nlarquis of Hastings, for his energy and exertions in the war, which he has hrought nearly to a successful close. His masterly arrangements have nearly ex tirpated the immense hordes of l'indarees, which threatened to dcvaktate all India; and the territory acquired is likely to yield. as soon as tranquillity shall he restored, a large in cr.-Ise of revenue. The Peishwa's territory, in the North and South Kilikern, and thr cwitntty front tandci,li to Sat- Sarah, is to be attached to the Bombay Presidency. The Ma dras Presidency will have the country to the South of Sattarah towards I)arwar, Rte. Mr. Elphinstone has for the prt sent :appointed military Offirris to the civil situations in these countries, but they tvill lie ultimately delivercCl over to tile Civil Government of the two Presidencies. The trooPs of the Once Presidencies tutve hoer, often sore ing together in this var ; alld it I, 4nlar, that hy the last Recounts, 'tinted the end - of Ap . ril, there was a division from each in pursuit of the Pcisli‘%s, who had telt own coun try, :mil wAs in tierce! . , near Nagpoor.

Ved as an auxiliary wUh Gen' Wellesley (now Duke of Wellitigion) at the famoUs battle of Assye. All the forts whch our arniy have taken were placed on heights of the most difficult access; they are on basaltic rocks, almost perpendicular on one side, and extremely cell secured against all annoyance except by shells. Flom these they might also have been p►otectcd by casemates. The toil in dragging up the guns and mortars was excessive, but nothing could resist the determined bravery of the troops. Many of these foits were 'erected by the celehiated Sews -3..e, and tl e places were extreinely well chosen. The val lies the hills are highly cultivated; the air on the 11011 is delightful, and affordS an European lre-shness. These (Thant s extend to Cdpe Comorin, and the vieSes froill thie' are sublime. The fort of l'asserata was situated on a rsountaits 4,000 feet in height. The rock is about 400 fret perpendicular on one side, ati'd it slopes oil about GOO on the other. Messrs. Morrison and limiter, th'e two Officers relieved from this fort, had beers fur trace mouths confined with great strict ness, but their treatment had been much noire lenient of late. It is ii4dii•lble to desCribe their jriy . eit their• deli- yerance. A body of the troops proceeded to Sattarah, to place the Itajah on the Tlir;rrr, in Atte frirm, nLicG n•is an interesting ceremony. The father of the ffajali s)..ai only ti private horse- Man, in the service of the Rajah (it ffetar—hot the Pcishwa raised him front obscurity, dri accoirr►t of his being a de scendant from Sewajee's family : 2 -made hint a nominal Rajah, and a prisoner in the fortresi Sattaral►.

'l•be l'eishwas affected ilWays to re spect fili ituthority, receiving their appointMents from and usinz liis name in all their acts. But the present Peishwa allowed Idot 3 mean establishment. "The contrast, there:. !ore, is now very g►eat. Mr. Elphitistime, by instruc tions from Lord Hastings, Itas acted towards hint in the most liberal ►manner, and Rajah ascended his MtiStard surrounded by all the parade and magnificente Of an eastern Monarch. 'rue expellees were all fizrnished by the British Government. The elephants taken from the l'eislifeit; with sumptuous paraphernalia, were all transferred to the Rajah, and all our troops in the vicinity attended.-- The Itajah is about i 5 years of age, and seems to be mildand well disposed. He has had but little education, and is likely to remain quiet. He has two brothers some year's yoiinger. Their mother is also with them, and has the charactei of an artful woman, Who may perhaps give us trouble. It was in tended give the Rajah ar►d family the fort of Sattarah, with ri tumid it for his maintenance—and Mr. Elphio stone acted Cai•oughout in the most liberal and delicate man ner towards them. This excellent Officer has been appointed tifinihissiouer in the Declian. [Morning Herald.] New, Hal/=past Seven o' Clock, Iredne , :dely Night.

We perceive, in The Royal Ga ctle, of the 30th of May, a Proclamation by the Governor of that ..‘ettlement, for the establishment of an Admiralty Court, wherein all offences, usually cognizable by such judicatures, will be tried, and especially those against the Slave Trade Abolition Act. This Court was opened, for the First fime, on the 2d of July, when a case of pi racy was tried, but the parties were acquitted,— On the 11 th of the same month, Manuel Garcias and Raymond Rodrigues were indicted for a yin- Vti'rst of the Slave Trade Felony Act, in import ing frodi Cayenne. not being a place in the Bri tish West Indies belonging to his Majesty, three slaves, a man, a boy, and a girl.

The peace establishment of Louis XIV. fluctu ated from 120,000 to 160,000 men : and the largest army he ever had on foot, in the war front 1688 to 16T7, amounted to 395,869 men, of whom 54,000 were cavalry.

In the year 1787 the French army amounted to 162,111 men, and in 1791 to 16L269 men. In 1792, M. Narbonne represented, that the effective strength of the ormy did not exceed 139,000 men, of which not more than 83,000 were disposable for field-service. The Republican Arrny wis gradually increased from that number as high as 749,545 present tin der arms when the nothlottl or paper strength amounted to 1,169,144. his was the maximum of the military strength of the Rrpublic in the tumn of 1794. _ .
